Pros

Ability to transfer to different divisions, travel policies are fair. Industry Leader. Huge Market Share. Financial Stability. Diversity in Employees

Cons

Total lack of training, extreme high turnover of employes within in the first 12-18 month period, sink or swim mentality. Lack of middle management to listen to or change the lack of training when vocalized to them. Corporate Credit Card is in your name so affects your credit rating if you have any delays in payment on expense reports. Cardinal Healthcare is a similar company and they have a formalized training program,I was expecting something the same when on-boarding. Meanness towards new employees who lack the knowledge to perform the job by experience employees. Long hours, high stress.

Pros

1. relatively aloof culture for ICs to grow on their own 2. on and off few people are good 3. Actually consultants in india are better than some full time hires to work with. The h1bs in full time roles and some GCs/Americans are just 1 step away from unemployment line but there are some good quality consultants who can be directed well to bring in good work. Problem is lack of direction when middle management is just running after money.

Cons

1. top most management is clueless to what is going post the middle tier 2. middle tiers - VPs/SVPs/Directors and Sr. Directors are among the worst. Mostly cast offs from Consulting firms/Tech cos/Other Healthcare firms, this group has some of the worst, clueless folks who just think very narrowly about how to get rid of problems, maybe craft a story for higher ups. Get rid of this layer ( so called people management ) and co. could shine better on the work of ICs, decent software engineers and regular rank and file. 3. Main money maker distribution is different from tech group and the IT here is almost comical - 2 years ago in 2024 there were "directors" bringing AI agents with 90% hallucination .. I mean that has got to be an industry first!
